Whom ever we draft, its a good chance they will be brought in to fill some depth at the C/PF similar to Harry Giles.

That in total should give the Heat 10 attractive trading pieces. Might be able to re-explore past trade scenarios like Okafor. But I do think if they play well like they did last year, we may have a good chance in trading for Paul George.

If Reed will accept the MLE then he can be the final piece. I think it's a reasonable price for a 3-year, but he may get more on the open market. Then we need to add to the PF stock - I assume we will pick someone who can play PF, but we need more than a rookie.

Trying to fit Dion/JJ/Gay into the space we have might be the best way to upgrade depth and talent at the same time.

PF is the position of need.With the Heat cap space, I'll sign JJ and try to add a big man who can play both center and PF like IBaka and then Willie Reed is expendable. The rest of the cap may go with a back PG or Dion if he takes less.

$37?

Not good. I believe that each of Dion, & JJ will get 14/15mil. Thats 30 mil right there. Willie (if he takes the offer) is the mid like you said. How do we sign Gay?

If we could get Dion, JJ, Gay, & Reed, back then we definetly need to do it.

Ellington could resign for more years at less $.

Reed will get offers from other team so that one will be hard to do. So if Gay would sign for that it would work but i dont see that happening.

Say you are right & it can happen how do you see the math working out?

Yall were really fooled by play, play that wasn't even really good btw, by a poor player in a contract year. I can see bringing back James Johnson but noooo to Dion Waiters on a multi-year deal. I hope JJ will take a one year deal.

For big fish, I think we should go after Hayward with everything, and if we don't get him, trade all our trash pieces for Wade as a stop gap. I know Wade haters are about to cry about this post, but the purpose would be so that we don't have to sign a bunch of useless middle tier players to bloated contracts and be stuck with them for years. We'll have another development year yes, but Wade will expire after that and we'll get a ton of space back. So then we'll have cap space to go after Westbrook and Paul George.
